Some of my pregnancies, it seemed like the baby wouldn't move at all during the day, and as soon as I would lay down to close my eyes they'd start doing flips, kicking the crap out of me, and I'm sure I've felt a few punches at my bladder.

Alot of his/her activity may be going on while you are sleeping, and it's just not waking you up.Also remember, when you are active all the activity can make the baby fall asleep because they like the rocking motion they feel when you are busy.
Just something to keep in mind.You could try a little bit of coffee, that'd do the trick. I told my OB that I drank 3 cups per day, and she never said a word about it, so I assume it was ok.I just think they don't want you to overboard with it.Limit your caffeine consumption they say.

I don't drink coffee (or anything caffeinated), but my midwives told me if you feel like the baby isn't moving you can try drinking something sweet or eating candy. I remember I REALLY was worried #1 would hide himself during the 20-week u/s, so I was sneaking candies in the waiting room to keep him active. It worked. Also, sometimes if I just kind of "poke" my babies they will respond. My husband gets mad and says I could be hurting them, but we like to play.

When I went to have my 20 week 4D ultrasound, Lincoln wasn't moving enough for the lady's liking, or enough to see his face, so she gave me some candy, had me go to the floor and get in weird positions or something (I don't remember that part very well), gave my husband a candy too (lol, awww, don't want the men to feel left out!), and then we went back to the ultrasound and sure enough, it worked. She also just grabbed my stomach and jiggled it a little bit. He kept hiding his face, shoving it into the side of my uterus, so it wasn't working out to be the best 4D ultrasound. I remember that I used the jiggling tactic a few times myself after that too.

Yea, they had me move around a lot for my u/s w/ #1. Not because they couldn't see what he was, but because the tech was determined to get me a profile shot. He did NOT want to cooperate, no matter how many positions she put me in. Kid is still mega stubborn to this day.

My oldest was stubborn as well. Only he wanted to show his "male part." The tech asked if I wanted to know the sex right before she put the sensor on my stomach. As soon as the picture came up, she said "Oh, it's a boy!" Then she kept trying to get pictures of his organs and he kept turning so we could see his penis. She even started talking to him. She told him, "Yes, we know you're a boy, now we need to see other parts of you!"

Boys....lol

My almost 11 month old discovered his penis (I'm horrible with time) I'd say a couple of months ago, and hasn't left it alone since.

My gosh, when I am getting ready to change his diaper, as soon as I unsnap his onesie he has his hand in position ready to grab.I swear sometimes I think he's going to pull it off, I mean don't you think that'd hurt?

My mom always says, men are born with it in their hand, and are going to die with it in their hand.

I am always excited to see the baby on the ultrasound. For some reason, they always made my pregnancy seem more "real" if that makes any sense. It brought the realization that wow, there's really a baby growing in there. I mean, I knew it before, but actually seeing the baby, it's hard to explain.

I am sorry to hear that you were so miserable. Hope you're feeling better.

I felt the same when I saw Lincoln too, but I had my first ultrasound at 8 weeks with him! I've yet to have one this time. I don't feel quite as connected, and I feel bad for admitting that.

I know exactly what you mean.
For me, it's the first movements that make me realize I am actually pregnant.But the ultrasound makes it even more real and exciting.The first ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat are both amazing experiences.
